8: Sobrado - Arzúa

In Carelle we find St Lorenzo Church and then, after passing along Corredoiras, we get to Boimorto, whose history is highly influenced by the nearby convent in Sobrado.
And almost immediately, we get to Arzúa, where the route joins the French and the Primitive Ways. From this junction, there is a unique way to the city of the Apostle, Compostela.

It links with Arzúa-Santiago from “El Camino de Santiago en España”.

5: Palas de Rei - Melide

Melide               

Melide is already in the province of A Coruña. Through Melide, we get to the population Leboreiro, called Campus Leporarius according to the Codex of Calixtus. There is here a Romanesque church dedicated to St Mary and the old pilgrims’ hospital is also preserved. This hospital had an escutcheon of the Ulloas, who founded it. The modest Bridge of Disicabo with an only arch let us cross the Dry River (Río Seco).

North Route

road from the north to compostelaWe are starting the North Way to Santiago de Compostela, older than the French Way. Those who came from Europe through the Cantabrian coast and arrived in the north of the Iberian Peninsula came to the Western capital this way.

The first pilgrimages came from Asturias about the 10th century. Pilgrims arrived through the Basque Country and walked round green lands as a promise of the green Galicia of the Apostle. They would pass along Oviedo to honour the Saviour and either followed the Primitive Way on the inside or went on with the Cantabrian Route and the North Way or High Way. In this Way, Ribadeo was the main entrance to Galicia.

6: Melide - Arzúa

MELIDE

Melide is already in the province of A Coruña. Through Melide, we get to the population Leboreiro , called Campus Leporarius according to the Codex of Calixtus. There is here a Romanesque church dedicated to St Mary and the old pilgrims’ hospital is also preserved. This hospital had an escutcheon of the Ulloas, who founded it. The modest Bridge of Disicabo with an only arch let us cross the Dry River (Río Seco).
Much more majestic is the medieval bridge over the river Furelos, which is near Melide.

12: San Romao da Retorta - Melide

Sta-cruz-retorta

Primitive Route

We are not going to make the pure physical Primitive Way.
We are going through the Way letting us be influenced by the traces pilgrimage left throughout the centuries.

Primitive Route


That is why we pay a special attention to the monuments of the surroundings, which rose to impress and touch pilgrims and as a proof of the faith of pilgrims and pilgrimage

We say Camino de Santiago and automatically think of the French Way to Compostela.
But there are many other ways… People talk about eight Ways in Galicia, although there are actually so many ways as possible routes. Every one tries his Way.
